Waste not, want not

A grateful client gave me this...

Very nice of him, even though I don’t drink whiskey. I’ll store it for medicinal purposes. But it also came in this...

A substantial metal container. I was astonished by the sheer waste of resources, because this tinny thing will be discarded immediately – who would want the hassle of extracting the bottle from a metal tube every time you wanted a wee dram? I wonder how much additional cost this added to this little beverage? It seems crazy that most of these Scottish distilleries dress up their premium malts in this over the top way.

And the one above pales when compared to some of the wooden boxed, velvet covered, embossed metal tagged efforts, all immediately jettisoned in to the recycled bin.

It is utter madness. Graphic designers have to decorate this kind of stuff. What a waste.
